It would be nice to be able to load a hex file using the Arduino IDE and UNO as ISP. I have read in another thread that a person should just use AVR Dude but, it would make my life easier to do it with the IDE.

In my thoughts the menu would be like this:1) load Uno with ISP sketch2) select load hex with UNO3) open hex file4) select upload hex to target board

Any thoughts?

How the step 3 fits with the ide? where that option should be invoked in your idea?

Eried thanks for your response.

Perhaps 3) should say select the hex file to upload.

At the moment for a person to upload a hex file, they have to use an ISP and AVRDude. Then, the user needs to type command prompts for the process to work properly. I find it to be a confusing process...although I may need to learn how it is doing anyway.

I think it would be great if the IDE made the process easier for the user similarly, to uploading sketches using ISP.

I don't use any of these functions (I use "copy hex file to clipboard" and then paste it in an external programmer app, then only click verify and upload in my external app) so I need to know the process completely, how you do it now manually, what are the "pre" conditions, like com port should be selected? board selection changes something? etc, does the manual way shows some progress bar I need to parse into the ide? etc,etc better if you do some screencast recording

Hey,There's a font from Adobe called Source Code Pro.Very suitable for programming and coding.Even the zeros have a dot in the middle so a capital "O" definitely looks like an "O".More info:http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/09/source-code-pro.html

It's so good, you might want to include it in the Arduino ERW as the default font type.

Hmmm ... I thought I changed the preferences file correctly but now I think it's defaulting to some other font becasue the font isn't smooth like the example, and I do see I installed them properly because they are in the fonts listing when I bring up Fonts under control panel.

How exactly do you specify these fonts in the preferences file on the line -

Launch log looks pretty good. The splash screen appear and nothing happens? some error msg? the full one works ok?

PS: I will try to add the new features. I am sending all my the patches to Energia project so I have been a little busy last week. But eventually, maybe for 1.0.4 I will resume to enhance Arduino again
